Hi

I'm not sure if I'm paying too much for my water, 3 people, nobody in during the day, so I guess 3 x showers / baths per day dishwasher on say twice a week, washing machine about the same.

I pay £90 per month, am I right in thinking that this is a lot ?

Thanks

Is this on a meter or Water Rates?

It's useless people putting up random water bills - the cost varies a lot depending on where you live so comparisons only make sense in the same utility company area.

The OP should look at his local water supplier's website and there will be a page that will estimate whether or not he'd be better off on a meter. The answer will almost certainly be 'yes'.
